3 13cal Estate. FA KM-YAI1D CLUB FOR SALE IN AUBURNDALE takes all summer to manure a piece of land in this way. If you sow your crop in the fall even yon can't get at it until late in June; and if you sow it in the spring, it isn't fit to turn tinder till fall; and 1 have never seen the time in my farming when I could afford to' wait that length of time without getting something from the land to pay the bills. When you reckou the cost of ploughing, and manuring ior the green crop, and seeding, and add this to the delay and the loss of the land for so many months, it is evident that this is a pretty expensive way of enriching the soil. But more than all this.

I have seen a piece of light land apparently poisoned by ploughing in a cropof green oats. It was done in July for the first time another crop was sown and, when it was grown enough, was ploughed in also. This, as you will see, occupied the whole of one seasou. The next year the land was planted to corn, and it did not yield enough to pay for the seed. Why this is I do not know.

But 1 have noticed that ploughing in a mass of clover stubble, which had been browsed and trampled on by the cattle, and which had readied some degree of maturity, will almost always benefit the. land for the next season. I have no doubt that the acids contained in crude, immature vegetable matter are injurious to the soil, and contain no soluble salts which can uitiatirttort 4 BY Ai EATON, rtrt' HORSE AND CARRIAGE MART, 72 Northampton street.

1875. at 12 uoon All the riaht, title and Interest which Mason Harris Dolbeare, a minor, has in and to a certain parcel of laud, situated in that part of Bostou formerly called Dorchester, in raid County of Suffolk, beiujr the estate most valuable fertilizer especially fori the early stimulation of crops. It has been well said that fish in composts "should lie a year, that their oil may be dissolved and fitted for the nourishing of plants." Straw, refuse hay, thatch, tanner's bark, leaves of deciduous trees, fermented with other substances, as manures may be used with great benefit on clayey and stiff soils, and. generally with great advantage in the cultivation of potatoes. Wood aahe are invaluable as a fertilizer, making a good top-dressing on all kinds of lands, and being especially acceptable to corn when applied on the hill at the second hoeing, and to strawberry vines.

Ashes should always be applied on the snrface of the soil. Liebig says: "Afield which produced no clover can be made productive for a seiies of such crops by manuring with wood ashes, which contain the same mineral matters as clover; in the Netherlands this manure is of the most general application for this purpose; and in Westphalia there is a proverb that te pays double who buys no It is a well known fact that on strewing wood ashes on a meadow, thousands of clover-plants make their- appearance where they were not visible before." Buy all the ashes you can get, therefore, if you need more manure than you make from your cattle; if you cannot get unleached buy leached, and apply to your corn, small fruits, orchards, grass lands, root crops, aud you will meet with your reward. Lime may in certain cases be used as a fertilizer and on certain crops. It has been well said by an old writer that "Lime acts as a manure by attracting and imbibing the oils and acids which are contained in the earth and atmosphere. It not only collects these ingredients of vegetablo food, but so alters them as to tit them to enter the roots of plants.

With the acids it forms a salt which by mixing with the oils becomes a saponaceous mucilage, which is the true pabulum for the nourishment of the plants. These changes cannot be made in the iugre-dienfs of which vegetable food is composed without a considerable degree of fomentation. This fermentation breaks and mellows the-soil, and so increases the pasture of plants that the roots can more freely extend themselves in quest of their food. Accordingly It is found that liming renders a soil very soft and open. And as lime when it is slaked is a very soft substance I can see no reason to doubt of its containing a very considerable quantity of those impal-pably small particles of earth which enter into plants and become a part of their subsistence.

If so it must be allowed that lime is to answer the intention of manure. Lime may Lave, an ill-effect when it is injudiciously applied, or in too great quantities or to an improper soil. Three cart-loads, or 120 bushels, are allowed to be a sufficient dressing lor an acre where it is cheap enough. This dressing enriches cold, stilf, clayey soils for many years after. If it force any soils too much it can only be those which are weak and sin-dy.

The best time for applying lime as a manure is when laud is newly broken up, or after lying a long time in grass. This may be ascribed to the plenty of roots in the 'soil which the lime soon dissolves and changes into food ior plants. It may well be composted, and if mixed with a large proportion of clay, or with mud from the bottom of ponds or rivers it may be applied to sandy and gravelly soils without danger, and to great advantage." I have seen an old book dedicated more than three-quarters of a century ago to James Bowdoin, in which the writer calls attention to coal ashes, as top-dressing for cold damp soils, sea-plants, marl, sand, clay, to mix with the plough or barrow in sandy or gravelly soil, turfs, shells, scrapings of backyards for all kinds of soils, but when containing chips, shavings of wood, or much sawdust, for stiff soils, scrapings of streets, and urine and water which flows from compost heaps mixed with muck or loom. 1 have enumerated these articles to show you what a variety of materials the farmer can use for fertilization, if lie will only exercise industry in collecting and judgment in applying tbein. l'erhaps our venerable author has been twoomniverous in his selection; IOR SALE OR TO LET-DESIRABLE WHAhK on Albany street, i.ear Dover street, containing; square eet.

Tenth Mei'Unjr-Suluects Fertilizers. AVben Charles Insalla left Jotham at the toee of his school, he promised the committee that if he found it nocossary to teach at jll during the next season, it should be in their service. The promise was not forgotten. The inipreswiou he left upon the cora-jnunity was so substantially good that time 0Dly made it better; and when the day approached for the winter term to begin again, Ir. Howe was instructed to write at once to the Schoolmaster, as he was now called, and remind him that the educational Monday 'would soon come round, and he would be expected to renew his la-tjors in the old red school-bonne.

To this the iboolniaster did not Object. The compensation was small, it was true, and he might do better elsewbero. But elsewhere was not Jolhani the town where he first tried his wings, the village with a Farmers' Club, the home of Mr. Hopkins, the birthplace of Clara Bell. He looked forward to another winter there ith something more than delight, with a feeling of pleasure so teen that toil and compensation seemed to be entirely secondary.

He returned, therefore, to his labor at the appointed time not to the same labor and the same town and the same school and scholars which he saw for the first time, the year before; bnt to a well-known and familiar scene, to whose service he was now fitted by experience, and to whose locality he was now bound by the tendcrest associations. He brought with him also a maturer mind; or his days in college had been devoted to the most diligent study, in which his powers had been quickened by a vague sense of the mark he might make in life. And when lie entered that primitive school-room to begin again his labors there, he felt as if he were only returning home, stronger and wiser than ever before, with firmer ties-aud broader understanding and enlarged capacity. The room bad not chanced; the stove and the irick floor and desk and Galilee and the mature young men and women and the little children were all there, just as they were on that first anxious and trembling morning. As he entered, he gave the scholars a general recognition, and proceeded at once to his desk and begun his labors by calling for the customary reading oi a chapter in the Bible.

Verse after verse was read by the pupils, aud it seemed to him that the work in which he was engaged had only been suspended th.e day before. The voices were all lamiliar, and all came in the order to which be had bttcome accustomed. Anil without exploring minutely the well-tilled benches without exactly daring To rrn his eye along to see if all thf eld familiar faces were present he waited for one voice, and waited in vain, until the Hst stumbling and hesitating and vociferous reader )iad finished hts verse; and ho learned that the voice of Clira Bell was not among them. To say that he was disappointed would be to give utterance to what he woulil not say himself. And yet he felt that the zeal with which he had travelled over the long road in rough weather to Jotham.

the readiness with which he had accepted another call to teach in that gloomy old school-house, the enthusiasm with which he persuaded himself that he was actuated by a high sense of his duty to mankind were all suddenly cooled before the realisation that, after all, he was not eager to return to his labor, bnt to her. It was amazing how his courage was dashed; what a feeling of disgust seized upon him; what a sense came over hiui that he had sold himself; and with what an iudiflerent manner he proceeded to lay out for the scholars the work of the term. But then he remembered that he was in Jotham; and that in the ordinary routine of life, either at the singing school or at church, or at her father's house, in the Tegular order of boarding round, he should ere long meet Clara; and he went to work with his usual determination, but with less of that elastic zeal than be had anticipated, before he discovered what a wretched place Eden must have been before Eve was born, and what a commonplace affair the world becomes when there is no one in it to love. The school-master had not, however, forgotten in the midst of all his devotion to the school-house and its associations the frequent meetings of the Club at the cheerful home of Mr. Hopkins; and when he was notified that he would be expected to take part in the deliberations of thecomingsea-on, as almost a public duty, he did not hesitate to declare that a duty like that belongftd t- the list of the most agreeable pleasures of the town.

And he rather hoped he might have an opportunity to apply his rhetorical powers to some other interesting question before the Clnb, as he did so acceptably to the subject of cattle. When the club met therefore, he was present. Dr. Parker was not. The.

meeting was called to order, as usual, by Mr. Hopkins, who took special pains to congratulate the members and himself that the school-master was once more among them, and who announced that Mr. Howe would, in accordance with a vote of the Clnb. present an opening paper on the subject of fertilizers and Fertilization. I have found it very diflicult, said Mr.

Howe, to discharge exactly the duty which has been assigned me. During the debate which was carried on at the last meeting of the Clnb, a great deal of valuable truth was enunciated and a great many facts were brought out, which it is impossible for me to recall and arrange to your sati-vfastion. 1 have been compelled, therefore, to jresent, in my own way, the views which were imprinted upon my mind by the debate to which I listened with so much nleasure and nront. I was extremely grati tied to rind that so manv of our number had interested themselves in experiments upon the application of manures, it is not dimeuit, as I conceive. Mr.

to tind an amm dance of fertilizing material. The earth is lull of it; so lull that we have only to strewn ibrth our Lands and eather it together. The large amount, of decaying animal matter to he tound in slaughter-bouses, ana to ne secured by accident and disease on the farm, th6nld never be lost sight of. Blood, hair and llesh can be composted in such a manner as to produce a most stimulating and valuable manure, uones cannot be overestimated. I have seen so much benefit arise from the use of crushed bones, not bow meal, bnt what the Knglish call half-inch bone, combined with an equal bulk of barnyard Bfianure.

and sufficient muck to make a com K)st heap, that 1 urge it upon your most careful consideration. Mr. Barnes spoke hiL'hlv of it for his near orchard; but 1 can from observation sneak hicrhlv of it as an ap plication to corn, turnips, grass land, in fact to any crop which requires strong aud permanent fertilizing. And I would most earnestly recommend the use of bones in the wav I have described to every farmer who desires to cultivate his farm well. I do not believe in bone meal.

I have found that the oil did not retain it well, and that it did not readily enter upon that heating process which is necessary to render all manure valuable. I have thought sometimes that the tine par ticles ot trie powoer were wasneu away ny the rains and carried down into the earth be yond the reach of the atmospheric influences and were thus rendered inoperative to the Plant. But however this may be, crushed bones, half-inch bones, mixed, heated, com -posted and used as I have described, are valuable to every cultivator; aud I think fully as valuable as hones are when reduced and broken ur bv the application of nitria acid. Used in the way I have suggested, the oil, the barn-yard manure, the muck, and ihe nrocess of fermentation, all combiue to bring the bones into a soluble condition or it not to a soluble condition, to a condition peculiarly available to the plant. Fish also I would recommend but always composted The refuse left after the manufacture of fish iii'in -mm to rati on or jujdress s.

PUBLIC AUCTIO in any way benefit the land. At any rate, I lean make anything out of ploughing in green crops in this part of the country, 1 have never known anybody who could." Artificial Fertilizers. I have heard a good deal said lately about artificial fertilizers. Can anybody here tell us about them?" said the school-master. "Well," said Mr.

Hopkins, no one else seeming disposed to speak, "I suppose, as near I cau ascertain, they ought to be called stimulants rather than fertilizers. I under took, last summer, to find out how far I could rely upon them in renewing some of my old worn-out fields; and I was satisfied that they cculd not take the place of more bulky ma nures, which in themselves contain not only the humus which the soil requires, but all the chemical constituents which can be found in half a dozen artificial fertilizers combined. 1 learned a great deal about the value of guano and the effect it had oil the worn-out tobacco lauds of Virginia and the cotton lands of the Gulf States. But I also learned that its effect is but temporary, and that it did not supply the soil with those ingredients which had been taken from it by long cropping. And so of what they call superphosphates.

They served in my trials, for I did Use some of the most reliable, simply to stimulate tor a time, and then the woric was all over. And 1 found that in one good shovel-full of manure I had all the ammonia of guano and all the nitrogen of oil and all the soluble salts of phosphates; so I determined not to rely upon the artificial fertilizers with the expectation that I was to be carried by them through the season. I tried moreover an analysis of some of my soil, having been told that a skilful chemist could not only ascertain in what the soil is deficient, on account of the demands made by certain crops, but could also tell exactly how to supply that deficiency in exact proportion. But I found it would not worn. ne sou seemea to require something more than merely a cos- densed form of some salt, of which it had been deprived ami that something 1 called humus the inert matter of man-ure, which contains all the stimulating elements re quired by plants, and also the sou itself in which they are to take root.

In my travels, last summer, I came upon a section of the State in which, for the sake of cultivating cer tain crops of a speculative value, the tanners had expended large sums of money in these commercial fertilizers. They had paid the highest market pi ices for guano and phosphates and fish pumice; and the result Vas that their farms were becoming itniniverished and their crops would hardly suffice to pay for the expensive fertilizers applied to them. The agricultural experiment was a most dis astrous one. Now. Mr.

Hopkins, said William Jones, who was a constant reader ot all the periodi cal literature of farming, "how is it that the Knglish farmer can afford td ransack every remote island and dig into every mine for fertilizing material, like guano and potash, if they are bo thin and fleeting? An tngiisn farmer generally knows what he is about." "Bo be replied Mr. Hopkins: but he does not iumort these materials for appli cation unaided to his land. He uses them to combine with more bulky aud less active materials, in order to bring his plants forward with the more rapidity. Seldom does he use gunnrt or potash salts alone. He resorts to straw, woody stems, leaves, weeos, oean-stalks, all vegetable refuse which is prepared by fermentation in one way or another for aonliration to tha land; he uses oil-cake, the residue of the starch factory and the glue factory, scraps, and tne retuse ot tkin, hair, horn and tendons, the refuse of the tallow-melter, sheil-mua irom the sea-shore, and all animal excrement, and these he combines with each other or makes thetn a oasis tor some of the imported fertilizers to which have alluded.

Fertilization in England is almost as economically carried on as ic is in Japan, and almost as thoroughly. And the English farmer exercises all his ingenuity to avoid the loss of any refuse material which being returned to the soil may bring forth a reward many fold in form of a profitable crop." "And so an English merchant undertook to carry on a farm by steam, and tilled the soil with iron pipes to convey liquid manure, and pumped the precious liquor over his acres with a steam engine, and built great tanks to receive every form of decaying matter which could le dissolved and distributed. Did all this pay, too? said the school-master, who had evidently been reading Mr. Mecbi's book in addition to the regular college course, and had learned more of the farm at Tiptree than be had ot bis father's in New Hampshire. "I doubt about that," replied Mr.

Hopkins, who had always bad the fear of Mr. Mecln before bis eyes. "If such work can be carried on profitably in Kngland, is is because labor is so cheap there that, as compared with America, it. hurdly enters into the account. Such an overwrought artificial process may succeed for a time, but it must come to an end.

Not one mau in a thousand could conduct it even for one day. Anil when Mr. Mecbi pauses, I think no man can take lip and carry on bis work. I don't believe it pays him; and if it does, it certainly will pay nobody else." A Wise Kemark and Adjournment. By this time, Mr.

Hopkins and the schoolmaster bad got a little beyond their own depth, for they began to talk about Liebig and I'oussinganlt, and the school-master, fresh from the laboratory at Dartmouth, was floundering about in carbonic acid and chlorine, and oxide of iron, and oxide of manganese, and alumina, until the two learned gentlemen had got very far beyond the depth of the Club, and had silenced everybody in the room but themselves. Captain Glass, who was again' a visitor in the town, and had been invited to be present, now broke in and brought matters back to their comprehensive level. "Yes," said he, knowledge is a good thing; it is a great thing; it's like baked halibut the more you eat the more you want." Nobody could deny this, and so the Club adjourned.

Jivaus auu me itev. l. uodd. but his list is to say the least interesting and suggestive. Some Experiment In Fertilization.

But I referred to the experiments in fertili zation which have been made among ns during the last season and they were so in teresting to me that I have as far as possible made a iccord from memory of some of them. The experiment made by Peter Ilslev in top- dressing grass lauds is worthy of your care ful consideration. Mr. llsley said, and be will correct me if Iamwrong.be had been trying on one lot of land compost of manure and mock, on another leachel ashes, on another green manure, on another wood ashes, and on a fifth Peruvian guano. Each lot of land contained 12,500 feet, and he began bis experiment three years ago.

He applied then on the first lot two cords of well rotted manure, mixed with two cart-loads of muck; on tiie second, 120 bushels of leached wood ashes; on the third, two cords of green cow manure, on the fourth, eighty bns-hels of unleached wood ashes, and on the fifth, 2.30 pounds of Peruvian guano. He weighed his bay; two crops for each of the three years; and the first year he got from the compost 1170 lbs. of hay, from the leached ashes 1120 from the green manure 1U()0 from the unleached ashes 14.T0 and from the Peruvian guano 1G70 lbs. The second year he got from the compost 1090 from the leached ashes 1400 from the green cow mannre 1750 from the unleached ashes 1WH) and from the guano 870 lbs. The third year he got from the compost 95 from the leached ashes HUO from the green manure 1350 from the dry- wood ashes 12:10 and from the guano 550 lbs.

The la nd selected was a field free from shade with a well set sod, three years old. Jin the three years the green manure produced 4700 the unleached wood ashes 4570 the leached ashes STIO the compost manure 3225 and the guano 30iK) lbs. I consider these experiments in top-dressing very valuable. 1 have secured the minutes of another experiment made by John Kay, who meets with us occasionally, ana wno, as you an nuow, i a ciirefnl and successful farmer. His exper iment also runs over three years and is in tended to test the different modes of applying the manure, and not the kind of manure used.

The land selected was a warm rather light loam. It consisted of one and a half acres, divided into five equal parts. On four of the parts, compost manure was applied at the rate of twenty cart loads per acre. On the first lot. the manure was ploughed in eight inches: on the second lot it was ploughed in four iucbes; on the third lot it was harrowed in; on the fourth lot it was spread on the surface after planting: and the fafth lot had noma nure at all.

The field was planted with corn The first lot yielded twelve bushels; the second lot yielded ten bushels; the third lot yielded nine bushels and twenty-eight quarts; the fourth lot yielded eight and a half bushels; and the fifth lot yielded seven bushels. The second year these lots of land were ploughed about eight inches deep and sown with wheat. The first lot into which the manure was ploughed eight inches, yielded nearly five bushels to the lot; the second lot into which the manure was ploughed four inches yielded four quarts less than the nrst; the third lot into which the manure was har rowed yielded the same as the second; the fouith lot on the surface of which the manure was spread yielded five bushels; and the fifth lot which had no manure at all yielded four bushels and two quarts, Tim third vear the land was in grass, herds-grass and clover. The first lot yielded 825 the second 094 the third the fourth 544 and the fifth 487 lbs. These experiments would indicate that manure must be applied to tue lanu in different ways for different crops.

Js'ow. I have no doubt much important in- fr i matron can be derived from the results at which these gentlemen have arrived; but we must remember that the application of manure to the soil is but a small part of the biiKiness of nrenarinir land for a crop. It must be properly ploughed, properly harrow ed aud at the riht time; and it must be properly seeded with good seed if its full capacity is to be reached. Manure is all-important; but the mode of dealing with the land is important also. What do you say to ploughing in green crops for manure?" said John Thomas.

I have tried it," replied John Kay, who had rathe'r a light farm, "and never could i make much out of it. In the first place, it oil can be combined with muck and made a.
